Ashland Progress
Aubrey Thrope 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Thrope of Guthrie's Chapel 
community died at 8 o'clock last night after suffering four hours from the bite 
of a rattlesnake. Aubrey had gone into the woods a short distance from his stove 
wood after returning home from school at Millerville when his dog began as if he 
had "treed" a rabbit or something in a rock pile. The boy trusting hand in an 
opening in the rocks was bitten by a large snake. Realizing his condition, the 
lad hastened home for medical aid. Sidney Browing a neighbor hastily brought him 
to Ashland to a doctor but the deadly poison of the snake the boy's system too 
long and he died two hours. Besides the heartbroken parents are two brother and 
two sisters to mourn his untimely death. He will be buried at Millerville this 
afternoon. Neighbors went this morning to the place where the snake was in 
hibernation and found and killed the snake which was a rattlesnake with six 
rattles.
